I would agree.  As far as I can tell, you don't need resolvconf at all
unless you're on a laptop or other mobile device.  Like the poster above, I
always "chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf" when I get it to a working state that I
like.

By the way, there are much better caching nameservers than bind9.  I can't
recommend any in particular because everyone is different, but I like
dnscache from djbdns (AKA dbndns).  Too bad it seems to no longer be
available in Trusty and Jessie.  Others are unbound and I think pdnsd.
